Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of three additional senior living communities for a combined purchase price of approximately $30 million.

“We are very pleased to report positive third quarter results from the implementation of our strategic plan that is focused on operations, marketing and accretive growth,” said Lawrence A. Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “These initiatives have resulted in revenue growing 27% and EBITDAR increasing 43% versus the third quarter of the prior year. Average monthly rents increased by over 10% and EBITDAR margin improved 380 basis points. Excluding the effect of amending a tax return in the third quarter of last year, CFFO in the current quarter increased 85%. These results reflect the fundamental strength of our substantially all private-pay business as we benefit from need-driven demand and limited new supply. We are encouraged by our strong occupancy gains, with third quarter average occupancy growing by 80 basis points on a sequential basis. We are also excited about our acquisitions, which increase our ownership of high-quality senior living communities, enhance our geographic concentration and generate meaningful increases in CFFO and earnings.”
